Trade fell off to-day, as result of bad
weather, in all lines but fuel, dealers in
coal and wood having ali they could do

Eggs have an upward tendency again,
there being no offerings to-day at all.
DOMESTIC GRAIN AND FLOUR MARKETS.
The wheat markets were subjected to
considerable excitement during the early
portion of the week. This, however, was
of short duration, as the stimulating war
rumors were not long lived. After an
advance of l cent per bushel, on
a prospect of war abroad, backed
by decline in English consols, there
came reaction, which has not been mate
rally checked. TIE Produce exchange re-
ported decrease in the visible supply
last week, which was not unexpected,
owing to decreased receipts at the west
Since then, however, receipts have been
smaller, but exports in turn being more
moderate, there is no special change due
to either. The heavy decline in quantity
reported on passage to Europe by Beer
bohm, over 9, 100000 bushels, failed of
much effect, as Chicago declared that
the totsl compiled there made bu. 50, 900
bushels decline. The favorable weather,
crop reports, labor troubles and checked
exports Conspired to depress prices, and
the feeling of operators has continued
beerish. Options were only moderately
active and closed &c. lower but steady
Rains in California have done away
with much of the reported prospective
damage from drouth.-T Bradstreet's.

few yeaas ago at the auction of the
property of Christopher Curtis, who died
in Atlanta, an old bible was bought by a
citizen for 81. He put the book away
snd thought no m re about it until the
other day, when L. W. Curtis OF Provi-
dence, Z. l. called on him, and said that
the bible had belonged to him, and had
been loaned to his brother Christopher.
The buyer at once gave up the book, and
was surprised when Mr.. Curtis offered
him S25, saying that the bible was one of
the famous "Breeches Edition." but he
refused to take more than the 81 he had
paid.
